Kesha Postpones Upcoming Tour Due to Injury

February 20, 2018

Kesha has postponed her spring tour dates in Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, and Japan following an injury. The “Woman” singer announced earlier today that she had torn her ACL following a concert in Dubai on February 9. She’s set to undergo surgery today, with physical rehabilitation to follow.

“It’s my biggest joy in life to share my music with my fans all over the world, but I have to follow my doctor’s orders and undergo surgery so I can get ready to give it my all on my summer tour and beyond,” Kesha said in a statement. “Moving these dates is making me sick with sadness, but I tried to will this injury away and unfortunately it didn’t work. I love you all and I’ll work every single day, as hard as I can, to recover and get back on stage as soon as possible. I’m so sorry and sending love always.”

The injury is not expected to affect the singer’s tour dates with Macklemore, which are slated to begin in June. Kesha is touring behind her most recent studio album Rainbow, released last year.
